RIC 001: A Process of Change

​Brief Overview of the Episode

​This is very much an introductory episode to the Recovery in Chaos podcast. In it, I explain why I named the podcast as I did, and a bit about my background and journey in recovery. I also explain what the word "recovery" means, in a clinical sense.

I forgot to mention in the episode that I have released ​Thinking Recovery,​ my new eBook, on this site. Since you're already here, why don't you follow the link on the bottom of the page, and download the book so you'll have it for the next episode.​​​

The episode goes on to discuss cognitive recovery itself, what it is, and how it differs from other recovery methodologies. I also explore the four commonalities present in the recoveries of those who overcame their self-defeating behaviors either without help, or with only minimal assistance.

​A writer, blogger, and podcaster, she is an inspiration to quite a few of us out here in the wilderness. I recommend her podcast very highly, for both information and inspiration.

Next Episode

Next week is "Why Cognitive Recovery Can Work For You. A look at how we learn our self-defeating behaviors, and why cognitive recovery techniques work. I'll give you a hint: it's all a mind game.

​I wrote ​Thinking Recovery​ to serve as a companion to this podcast. It contains an overview of the principal cognitive recovery techniques that I explore, and some visual aids to help with understanding.
